Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Here's a great photo of a home in Lakeville, MN that had both a crawlspace AND a finished basement. We encapsulated the crawlspace as well as the bottom half of the basement with CleanSpace. We also installed a WaterGuard system in the basement half to ensure protection against flooding.

Carol H. of Northfield, MN researched for a company online to help with encapsulating her crawl space.  She contacted the RIGHT place!  Complete Basement Systems has been assisting homeowners since 1975 with basement, foundation and crawl space repairs.  

We scheduled Carol with a FREE estimate to inspect the crawl space at her home and design a solution that would accomplish her goals of protecting her home. 

The solution designed was to completely encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace Liner to separate the dirt floor earth underneath from the rest of her home.  The CleanSpace System is a 20 mil poly that is kind of like a pool liner and is warrantied for up to 25 years to be free from rips and tears.  

Carol now has the ability to use her crawl space for storage and also looks a lot more attractive and bright versus nasty and dark. 

This homeowner was worried about moisture in her basement and a musty smell affecting her air quality. With pests in the crawlspace, she knew it was time for a change. Check out these dramatic before-and-after photos to see how we transformed her crawlspace into a clean, dry, and healthy space!

This Maple Grove, MN crawl space had our customer, a new home buyer concerned with moist dirt floor underneath the home.  Very interested in purchasing this home, he contacted the professionals at Complete Basement Systems for an inspection of the crawl space to provide a professional opinion of what needed to be done to ensure safety.

Our System Design Specialist, Ryan Brenner, quickly came to evaluate the situation.  He concluded that the crawl space needed a CleanSpace Liner to create a safer enviornment for the rest of the home.  With a plan set, Ben Heldt and his production team came to the home start the project.

CleanSpace Liner and CleanSpace Drainage Matting were installed to fully encapsulate the crawl space with a 20 mil thick liner along the walls and floor of the dirt crawl space.  

Having a dirt crawl space under a home is a very bad idea.  The earth has high humidity in the soil and the water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house enviornment.  Mold thrives in this enviornment.  With the CleanSpace System has an UltraFresh antimicrobial protection built in to prevent mold growth.  The CleanSpace System has a 25 year warranty as well.

Before:

This crawlspace was originally covered with a thin, low-quality plastic sheet that did little to protect the home from moisture, odors, or pests. The material was easily torn, poorly sealed, and offered no long-term durability, which allowed humidity and potential air quality issues in the home.

After:

We removed the flimsy liner and replaced it with our durable CleanSpace Encapsulation System. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty, 20-mil vapor barrier that is specifically engineered to seal out moisture and create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment beneath the home. Unlike the old plastic, CleanSpace is installed with proper sealing, anchoring, and overlapping, creating a continuous barrier across the floor and up the walls. The result? A protected, healthier crawlspace that adds value and peace of mind for years to come.
